true bible fragments found with startling revelations!
by greven inhistory was made wednesday when a group of archaeologists working in a dig at mabell, israel stumbled across an ancient stash of wooden tablets.
numbering over three hundred in all, the tablets are made of gopher wood onto which hebrew characters were inscribed in ink.
they appear to contain the personal diary of moses.

How Come Brooklyn Never Saw This One Coming?
by Englishman inbooks and magazines all full of dire warnings..stay away from the world..don't have sex outside of marriage..armageddon is just around the corner..avoid worldly associations..look out for this, look out for that.
the list goes on and on and on.. yet the wtbts predictors of doom and gloom department never, ever, in their worst nightmares, ever saw what it was that would prove to be their nemesis.. that ex-witnesses, the majority of them disfellowshipped and, therefore, supposedly gagged and without a voice, would find a way to communicate with one another via the internet.. i wonder if the fact that they brought this upon themselves is clear to them?
the irony is astonishing.

Will It Be Cold Turkey For England?
by Englishman ini don't think so, but the turks aren't known for being nice.. despite a barrage of criticism from the media, england are odds on favourites to win their next euro 2004 qualifying match against turkey at the sunderland stadium of light.
the visitors have won their opening three group games and anything other than a defeat would put them in a very strong position.
the hosts are currently at around evens to win group 7.. .

And Ozzie ;
Your sporting days of dominance are over. We have the best Rugby side in the world and will lift the world cup next year.
Your result against Sven's men was a result of Sven messing with his side at half time; given a full match England would and will in future matches walk all over you.
As for cricket, who cares? lol.

Svens boys are overpaid spoilt kids. I love England and am English through and through but am fed up of these overpaid ponces ruining the game with their stroppy attitude.
Beckham gets £70,000 a weeks just for whipping his balls in from the back ( wouldn't you with a wife like that !!!!! )
I think it will be a lucky draw for England or Turkey will do it, simply because they have more fight, it means much more for them. Do you remember Iran Vs America 8 years ago ? To Iran, it meant a lot to win ... for the yanks, it meant nothing. Thats what the story will be tonight .

What should we reply when invited to memorial?
by bluesapphire inwhen my mil invites my husband to the memorial he plans on saying, "well i've already been to the memorial before.
if you've been there once, there's no need to go again since the talk is the same mumbo-jumbo year after year and i'm not anointed anyway.".
what do you plan on saying or have you said?

Just use my old famous excuse for missing the meetings in the old days . Just say :
' I'll be looking out for you mate ' and walk off

Watchtower's Armegeddon Frenzy--Again
by ARoarer inwith all this going on over in iraq, and the watchtower society's fear of death tactics on the rank and file members, it reminds me of how much the watchtower publishing corporation leadership is using the same fear tactics of death to all who are not subserviant and loyal to it's fear inspiring religious regime.
while threatening the world with "mass distruction" by thier watchtower false god, and twisting christian doctrine to further their fear, and blame messages, and death to all others, they have the same perpetrating m.o.
as saddam, bin laden, and all other dictatorial figures.

Questions Directed Towards: YOU (ex-JW)
by RAYZORBLADE ini thought i'd give this a go, lighten up the forum a little.
just curious, about a few things regarding all of us who participate on here.
i have some questions, of which i will answer also.

1. How long were you a Jehovah's Witness?
20 damn years man, 20 damn years
2. Were you raised in it or become a JW later on in life?
I was raised in it bro. By my mother alone, my dad was wise; he wanted nothing to do with it. One day he just said out of the blue : ' If I win the lottery, Im going to have a study ! ' Me and my mum looked at him so happy and amazed. He then said ' A study room in my new house' .
3. Were you contacted via the door-to-door ministry?
My mum was drawn into it through scare tactics ; those pictures of people falling of cliffs and burning to death seemed to strike a cord with some young people.
4. Initially, what intrigued or drew you to the Jehovah's Witnesses then?
As above . Yet for me I always knew it was the truth, until I found out otherwise
5. When were you baptized? Or if you weren't, mention that if you wish.
Never baptized. Phew !
6. When did you start having doubts?
A couple of years back, when I read about that business with the UN. More study introduced more doubts.
7. What else perhaps contributed to your leaving?
The fact that I never seemed to have any friends in the congregation. I was quiet anyway; so It was hard for me to associate with others. Also I could never imagine myself being a visiting elder giving a talk, with his wife and kids in the audiance. Or making any kind of advancement for that matter. Besides, there were no Asian girls in my congreagation , and I just LUV asian girls hehe The hypocritical nature of those that went also put me off .
8. When were you disfellowshipped/disassociated?
Well technically, Im not. But I think they have got the message by now that Im not going; not that it matters, a lost sheep gone astray means nothing if the lost sheep had no influence in the congregation ; daddy not an elder, no other family besides his mother attending meetings. You are either in the sh!t or you arent.
9. Have you ever been reinstated?
If above ever happens, whoever reading this has my personal blessing to SHOT ME if ever I return. Thats a promise.
10. Did you attempt to contact or have spoken with other active-JWs when you were DF/DA'd?
I had to contact an elder to see me once I had been gone for 3 months. Nobody came to see me, yet I still welcome religious discussions with anybody, even if they are often in vain.
11. Have you ever protested/picketted a JW assembly/convention?
Nope, but If anyone has any plans to do so in the UK then call me up, i'll be right there.
12. Do you miss being a Jehovah's Witness?
Not at all. Not one bit, I feel such freedom now im not ruled by men, sucking up to members in the congreagtion for silly reasons and not having to listen to totally hypocrites speaking on the platform that are so far up their own backsides its unreal.
13. Do you still have family that are active JWs?
My grandmother is, yet I have nothing to do with her because its the way our family is !!!
14. Do you believe in god/God etc.?
I do. I know he is there for me; I know he shown me the way out of that hellhole. I prayed and asked him to show me the truth, and he did. Now I just need to stay on the straight and narrow, which is hard to do. In a way, Im still searching for God
15. Are you politically active or have voted?
I love politics yet would not vote as they are all as bad as one other. The UK is a joke anyway; we have Blair on one side who is finished after this war, Iain Duncan Smith leading (?!?!) the opposite side and some drunken Scottish bum who cant decide black from white on the Liberal side. In England, knowing black from white is very important ! It's funny, you can perfectly mimic politicians and their personalities, yet when you come to Duncan Smith you have to give HIM a personality. What was the question again ?!?!
16. Would you say you have become more tolerant or open-minded generally speaking since you left?
Definatly. Through the years of being a JW, ask anybody that knew me I wasn't the most tolerent person on Earth, even being very racist in my outlook which I hang my head in shame for today. I accept people for who they are now; I actually show kindness to everybody not just a certain few. Its easy to be racist, especially in Leicester England; if you have ever been here you would know why. Yet I seem to have been cured; I thank God for that.
17. Do you think that the WTBTS will crumble?
I really hope so, these are all very good questions Rayzorblade. I really want to do all I can to help it crumble; I want to say adios to that false prophet. I'd say in 10 years time the Watchtower will still be going, religion is big business.
18. If you could say anything to the WTBTS and be listened to, what would you like to say?
Id thank them for making me into the person I am today. I would also beg them to apologise to their followers and ask them to admit their faults so some uptight Watchtower followers ( mentioning no names ) can see that the Watchtower is made of glass, instead of blindly believing in the sh!t that they come out with.
19. What has helped you to cope, post-JW?
The Lord helped me through it all, I strongly believe that. This forum and other sites really helped; Ray Franz placed the final nails in the Watchtower coffin.
20. Anything else you'd like to say/add?
Yeah. Sue me.

The Image Of the Beast
by Rick_A inthis is just a quick study i did on the image of the beast and is not 100% fact as we know nothing is for sure until we actually see it come to pass.

Yeah yeah
Been there, got the T Shirt... heard it all before.
You must have really taken notice of those four studies we had on the Reverlation book. I always remember my group study raving : ' WE'VE GOT IT ! WE'VE GOT IT, NOBODY ELSE KNOWS THESE THINGS'
Yeah right. As I have said before, give me an ounce of Magic mushrooms and I could come out with something along those lines also.
